Nawab Sir Khurshid Jah had two sons: the
elder was Nawab Imam Jung, Khurshid-ul-Mulk,
and the younger, Nawab Zafar Jung, Shams-ul-
Mulk, who together with Sir Asman Jah had the
honour of representing His Highness the Nizam
at the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 1887.
Nawab Zafar Jung was the son of Nawab
Afzal-ud-Dowlah's daughter and therefore nearer
in kinship to the ruling family. Nawab Sir Khur-
shid Jah died in 1902 and Nawab Zafar Jung did
not survive him many years. He died in
1907. Like the other branches of the Paigah
family, Sir Khurshid Jah's family has also been
unfortunate. After his death his son, Nawab
Zafar Jung, Shams-ul-Mulk, a first cousin of the
late Nizam, succeeded his father nominally as
head of the Paigah but was not vested with full
powers. The estate was placed under the super-
vision of Mr. (afterwards Sir) Brian Egerton by
the order of the Nizam. Nawab Zafar Jung died
young and his eldest son Nawab Lutfuddin Khan,
who became Nawab Lutf-ud-Dowlah afterwards,
succeeded him as head of his branch of the family ;
but the estate continued to be managed by Sir
Brian Egerton until the final settlement (based
upon the Reilly Commission Report) was made
by His Exalted Highness in the year 1928.
The three Paigahs were then restored to their
rightful claimants, but their prestige had de-
clined. Special committees were appointed by
His Exalted Highness to assist the Paigah Amirs
in the work of administration*
